This Valentino show was full of light, floaty evening dresses with sheer fabrics, cascading ruffles, and delicate floral prints. It looked beautiful, but it also looked boring. I don’t think the current creative directors are suited to design couture. They came from an accessories background, and while I think that many design skills are transferable, I don’t think they have what it takes to design Valentino couture. What do you think?
I love…
the beautiful, discreet detailing on the front of this dress.
that we are seeing some many beautiful long sleeves at the moment.
a silhouette that reminds me of something Valentino may have done in the 60's.
I loathe…
when a Calvin Klein dress accidentally gets onto the Valentino catwalk.
these couture dresses that look more $80 than $8,000.
too many boring, floating floral evening gowns with ruffles.
